Filemaker Server registered on Active Directory

Hi Forum,

This is my first post and I'm writing for a problem on Active Directory operating on Windows 2003 SbS Edition.

Whe I try to register FM on Windows the result is :)

[Registration with directory service failed. (Invalid DN Syntax)]

The DN specified in configuration is this :

The DN is "CN=SeXXo,OU=Computers,OU=MyBusiness, DC=icXXXXXy,DC=local"

The DN is correct but registration failed.

The machine is in a OU and for find the path I use the utility DSquery from Win2003Tools.

What should I do ?

Thanks !

:confused:

Getting the syntax correct is notoriously difficult. Wouldn't suprise me that DSquery returns a different syntax than FM expects (as the error indicates). Try reversing the syntax. I also seem to be missing the domain suffix in your string (com).

Note that registering with the AD is for information purposes only. It is not required to make external authentication work. So if you're doing this for external authentication then don't bother.

I have a different problem ...

after thet I start external external authentication only 3 domain account can log-in on Filemaker and other cannot access ... what do you need ?

Group FMUser is created like global on the domain.

Same group is available on FM file with Privilege Set like Read Only.
